Uniform Relocation Assistance Act
Connecticut · 8 · §§ 8-266 to 8-282 · 20 sections
Overview
The Uniform Relocation Assistance Act governs the treatment of people, businesses, and farms displaced when government or publicly funded projects acquire real property, aligning state practice with the parallel federal relocation and property-acquisition standards. It requires paying displaced persons for moving expenses, dislocation allowances, and certain replacement-housing and incidental costs such as fees, penalty charges, and taxes, with fixed-payment alternatives available in place of itemized claims and specific obligations imposed on landlords in some situations. The act also establishes a relocation assistance advisory program, conditions the availability of comparable replacement housing before displacement may occur, directs agencies to adopt implementing regulations and procedures, treats relocation payments as neither income nor resources for benefit-eligibility purposes, provides an administrative appeal route, and ties state grants-in-aid to an approved relocation plan.
